September 29, 2011 Day 12...Next stop America!
Kelly and I departed Roma, Italia this morning. It was kinda cool though. We were riding in a shuttle that was driving us to the Fiumicino Airport. The driver had the radio on, all in Italian of course. As we were riding along, I was looking out the window recounting the last two weeks in Italy. Then something amazing happened, I heard George Harrison's voice coming out of that little Italian radio. He and his friends were singing to me...."Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it's all right. Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter, little darling, it feels like years since it's been here. Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right...." THE BEATLES were with me as I said arrivederci to Italia!
